me and my neighbor were going to build a huge box. well, its huge compared to the subs. Its 6.5 cft tuned to 24HZ for 2 jl w1's. The frequency chart goes up to 30HZ at 0DB, then it goes straight accross and stays at 0DB. would that sound good? opinions please.
w1's are only 150wrms subs...they are not going to give you super loud, pound the hell out of ya bass. they will give you some nice low end to complment your mids though.
what voice coils do your subs have? what amp do you have? what car is this going in?
2.5-3cuft tuned to 30-35hz should be perfect for 2 10" w1's.
4-ohm single might get a aura 540 watt possibly a jeep for a little while, but i would like to sell it like i said, 1.5 cubes didnt work. and the reosonant frequency is 24 i printed the frequencygraph for the crappy box
they are not going to be all that loud...prolly ~128-130dB in car at peak freq. (the pair)
those are entry level subs that are made to sound good...not get real loud.
also, if you are talking about a jeep cherokee...that is alot of air to move in that vehicle, they are not easy to get loud. i have a friend w/ 2 pioneer premier 12's on 2400wrms and he is only doing ~144dB.
this is kinda off topic but i was thinking if you want to make a bigass box, just use a old fridge, i mean my fridge is 22cf and thats with all the draws and everything in it, so take all that out and it would probally be around 28-30cf, then just cut a hole in the top of it mount the sub, find some way to seal the door, and poof you have one huge box that you didn't even have to build.LOL
well, like i said i plan on selling it. mArshall, you have a lot of experience building boxes don't you? wouldnt it sound good with a flat line on the frequency chart? BTW i got a pic of the 6.5cft box graph for 2 subs.
ok, here is what i did. i got the front panel board off my crappy jl box. then i put it on my eclipse box, which happens to be 3cft. and it is tuned to 30HZ. It didnt take much power, but it sounded awsome. I think 6.5 will be good. When my eclipse was in there it would only get real loud around 40hz. but the jl does good in all aorund.
